The food bank cannot plan a menu until it receives its supplies on the day, but Paul said it would be very healthy and full of vegetables.

He added: “This is not just about food poverty, but about bringing people together who may normally eat on their own, and for those who can pay a little more it would help those who can’t afford as much.”

The first event will be on Friday May 5 at the United Reformed Church, on Hardwick Square East, with food being served from 5.30pm until 7pm.
